Comprehensive Application Support: Up to 12 Schools
Full-service application support for juniors and seniors applying to a balanced school list of up to 12 schools. For families building a more comprehensive strategic mix of reaches, targets, and likelies, and who want full essay and strategic support across the entire list, with real options at decision time. We begin with a comprehensive intake and narrative discovery session, where I work with your student to surface the stories, themes, and angles that will anchor every application. From there, we build the school list strategically: a balanced mix of reaches, targets, and likelies that reflects your student's profile honestly, paired with an ED/EA/RD timing strategy that maximizes the odds across the list rather than betting everything on one school. The bulk of the engagement is full-service application work across all 8 schools. The Personal Statement gets the depth of attention it deserves: topic exploration, brainstorming, drafting, and unlimited revisions until the essay is genuinely strong (typically 5–8 substantive drafts). For each of your 12 schools, I provide complete supplemental essay support, every prompt, every draft, every revision, typically running 20–30 supplements depending on which schools are on the list. Alongside the essays, we handle the Common Application end-to-end: activities list, Additional Information, resume crafting, and recommendation letter strategy (who to ask, when, and how to brief them so the letters work in concert with the rest of the application). Before each application is submitted, I do a final review to catch anything that needs polish. If interviews are part of any school's process, interview prep is included. If your student is deferred or waitlisted at any school, I provide strategy support through those decisions as well. Throughout the engagement, your student has direct messaging access for time-sensitive questions, and we meet live for strategy work and substantive drafting sessions throughout the cycle — with session frequency stepping up significantly during peak season (August through November) as deadlines approach.
What's included
This package combines live 1-on-1 video sessions with asynchronous review of essay drafts, application materials, and direct messaging access throughout the engagement. We meet live for strategy work, substantive drafting sessions, and key inflection points in the cycle, typically every 1–2 weeks during the lead-up to applications, stepping up to weekly or more frequent sessions during peak season as deadlines approach. My approach is structured and direct. On essays, I work iteratively rather than trying to "fix" drafts in two passes, most students go through 5–8 substantive drafts on the Personal Statement and multiple rounds on each supplement before the work is genuinely strong. I'm honest in feedback, but I'm also a real partner through every round across all 8 schools. The students I work best with in this package are juniors and seniors who want comprehensive support across a normal-sized college list, are coachable and motivated, and want to make sure every application is as strong as it can be, not just the top one or two on the list. The pacing of the work assumes a real engagement: regular check-ins, real revision cycles, and clear communication throughout.

College Admissions Expert | Columbia MBA | 16+ Yrs of Ivy & Top 25 Admits
I work with students aiming for top outcomes: a 1400+ SAT, a 700+ GMAT, or admission to highly selective colleges and MBA programs. Over 16+ years and 3,000+ students across six continents, I've built a practice around one idea: most students don't need more work, they need the right work, structured the right way. My career started at Prep Zone in Singapore, where I helped expand the company into Shanghai before returning to New York and joining some of the city's top test prep and admissions firms, including Veritas Prep, Bespoke Education, and Advantage Testing. I went on to found my own practice, Global Scholars, where I now work with students across six continents. On the testing side, my students average 200+ point gains on the SAT and 100+ on the GMAT. This is driven by pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution rather than brute-force practice. On the admissions side, my work is about coherence. Smart students often arrive with strong but scattered pieces: academics, extracurriculars, a story they haven't fully figured out. My job is to help them put it all together: a sharp narrative, a strategic school list, and essays that actually sound like them. 95%+ of my students are admitted to at least one of their top-choice schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UChicago, NYU, and UCLA. I graduated from NYU and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on both undergraduate and MBA admissions. If you want a structured, strategic partner, not generic advice, let's talk.
